History
Keep the small upper pattern flowing over the lower movement. The two encoded parts represent the keyboard lines, not an invitation to use two players. Later source instructions about an arpeggio and ornament stay attached to their own measures.

How to practise it
- Practise the encoded lines separately, then combine them while preserving their different rhythms.
- Hear the chord shape behind the moving pattern while keeping its successive notes even.
How hard is it
Level 4, estimated
Opening upper eighth-note patterns and lower counter-motion across 48 measures suggest an intermediate coordination study; separate native parts require a practical single-keyboard importer check.
